Training thoughts

So I ran 10k today which is not bad but gosh it was hard. It was cold and the Chinese that I had eaten before I went out did not help. I have a 10 k race on Saturday and I am trying to beat the 55 minute mark but I keep sabotaging myself! It does not help that I am struggling with a big issue involving the ex and it makes me so angry. When I am angry and stressed out, I find it very hard to run as I lose my focus. I won’t go into it here but it is the kind of thing that leaves you with no faith at all in the systems that are meant to protect those who need it. I still have not heard my time from yesterday and I am very keen to learn how I did. Take care all and if you could throw me some kind thoughts it would be appreciated
